《Ravens》歌词

[00:00:00] Ravens (乌鸦) - Mount Eerie

[00:00:14] In October 2015

[00:00:19] I was out in the yard

[00:00:23] I just finished splitting up the scrap two by fours into kindling

[00:00:31] Glanced up at the half moon pink chill refinery cloud light

[00:00:38] Two big blackbirds flew over their wings whooshing and low

[00:00:45] Two ravens but only two

[00:00:52] Their black feathers tinted in the sunset

[00:01:07] I knew these birds were omens but of what I wasn't sure

[00:01:16] They were flying out toward the island where we hoped to move

[00:01:23] You were probably inside

[00:01:27] You were probably aching wanting not to die

[00:01:30] Your body transformed

[00:01:34] I couldn't bear to look so I turned my head west

[00:01:41] Like an early death

[00:01:45] Now I can only see you on the fridge in lifeless pictures

[00:01:53] And in every dream I have at night

[00:01:57] And in every room I walk into

[00:02:00] Like here where I sit the next October

[00:02:04] Still seeing your eyes

[00:02:08] Pleading and afraid full of love

[00:02:16] Calling out from another place because you're not here

[00:02:26] I watched you die in this room then

[00:02:29] I gave your clothes away

[00:02:35] I'm sorry I had to

[00:02:41] Now I'll move

[00:02:52] I will move with our daughter

[00:02:56] We will ride over water

[00:03:01] With your ghost

[00:03:04] Underneath the boat

[00:03:07] What was you is now but bones

[00:03:11] And I cannot be at home

[00:03:15] I'm running reef flailing

[00:03:37] The second time I went to Haida Gwaii it was

[00:03:41] Just me and our daughter

[00:03:45] Only one month after you died my face was still contorted

[00:03:53] Driving up and down boots wet inside aimless and weeping

[00:04:00] I needed to return to the place where we discovered that

[00:04:07] Childless we could blanket ourselves in the moss there

[00:04:18] For our long lives

[00:04:22] But when we came home you were pregnant

[00:04:26] And then our life together was not long

[00:04:31] You had cancer and you were killed

[00:04:35] And I'm left living like this

[00:04:38] Crying on the logging roads with your ashes in a jar

[00:04:44] Thinking about the things I'll tell you

[00:04:49] When you get back from wherever it is that you've gone

[00:04:57] But then I remember death is real

[00:05:04] And I'm still here in Masset

[00:05:07] It's August 12th 2016

[00:05:11] You've been dead for one month and three days

[00:05:16] And we are sleeping in the forest

[00:05:20] There is sand still in the blankets from the beach

[00:05:25] Where we released you from the jar

[00:05:30] When we wake up all the clothes that we left out are

[00:05:34] Cold and damp just from the air permeating

[00:05:41] The ground opens up

[00:05:46] Surrounded by growth

[00:05:49] Nurse logs with layers of moss and life

[00:05:54] Beyond the cedars the sound of water

[00:05:58] Thick salal

[00:06:00] And God like huckleberries

[00:06:05] The ground absorbs and remakes whatever falls

[00:06:12] Nothing dies here

[00:06:15] But here is where I came to grieve

[00:06:19] To dive into it with you

[00:06:24] With your absence

[00:06:26] But I keep picking you berries
